Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a composition that comprises a recombinant plasmid (RP) with a sequence of nucleic acids. The sequence comprise a start region, an end region and an insert positioned between the start region and the end region. The insert encodes for a sequence of micro interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA) that may be complimentary to a sequence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes for translation of a target biomolecule. The miRNA can cause the target mRNA to be degraded or inactivated, thereby causing a decrease in bioavailability of the target biomolecule because it is degraded or inactivated by the miRNA, thereby decreasing the bioavailability of the target biomolecule. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is an immune checkpoint protein.

Composition for regulating production of interfering ribonucleic acid

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of a target biomolecule, thereby causing an increase in the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a protein such as SUMO.

Composition for regulating production of proteins

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of a target biomolecule, thereby causing an increase in bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a fusion protein with an Fc fragment, such as a toll-like receptor 3-Fc (TLR3-Fc). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is toll-like receptor 9-Fc (TLR9-Fc). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is deoxyribonuclease I-Fc (DNAse I-Fc). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is neural growth factor-Fc (NGF-Fc). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is insulin-Fc.

Plasmid encoding a DNAse-I and Fc fusion protein

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of a target biomolecule, thereby causing an increase in the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a protein such as MANF.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of a target biomolecule, thereby causing an increase in the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a protein such as BMP11.

The present disclosure relates to one or more agents, therapies, treatments, and methods of use of the agents and/or therapies and/or treatments for producing an antibody like protein (ALP) and one or more sequences of miRNA that are complementary to the mRNA of a target, viral-specific protein or proteins. Embodiments of the present disclosure can be used as a therapy or a treatment for a subject that has a condition whereby the production of the APL and decreased production of a target, viral-specific protein or proteins may be of therapeutic benefit.

Compositions and methods for regulating production of an antibody like protein and ribonucleic acid

Loss of B cell tolerance and generation of autoreactive anti-nuclear antibodies are hallmarks of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is characterized by glomerular and tubulointerstitial inflammation often initiated by the renal glomerular deposition of anti-nuclear immune complexes which trigger subsequent activation of complement, macrophages/monocytes and other innate inflammatory cells. The mechanism of anti-nuclear immunoglobulin accumulation and clearance in lupus nephritis pathogenesis remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we show that innate immune activation in the NZB/W F1 mouse model and in human lupus nephritis biopsies rapidly reduces DNase1 expression in renal cortex proximal tubular cells. To overcome the loss of endogenous DNase1, we treated lupus-prone mice with a hyperactive actin resistant variant of DNase1 with improved catalytic activity against nucleic acid-IgG immune complexes and acceptable in vivo pharmacokinetics. Hyperactive DNase1-Fc fusion protein ameliorates nephritis in a murine model of lupus nephritis and reduces immune complex deposition/complement fixation. Taken together, our data suggest that the loss of renal DNase1 through TLR signaling or other innate immune activation impairs clearance of autoreactive anti-nuclear immune complex deposits in the kidney to promote nephritis progression. Our findings provide a therapeutic rationale for using an engineered DNase1-Fc as a potential therapeutic approach in lupus nephritis.

Plasmid encoding a TLR3 and Fc fusion protein

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of a target biomolecule, thereby causing an increase in bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecule is a protein such as TERT.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions for regulating the production of an antibody-like protein (ALP) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). In particular, the present disclosure relates to compositions for regulating the gene expression and, therefore, the production, of an ALP and an interfering RNA (iRNA), which may suppress viral infections. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target viral infection is a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Compositions for regulating production of an antibody like protein and ribonucleic acid

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of mRNA. The sequences of mRNA may encode for translation of target biomolecules, thereby causing an increase in bioavailability of the target biomolecules within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target biomolecules are modified Cholera toxin A and Cholera toxin B.

Composition for regulating production of fusion proteins

The present disclosure relates to one or more agents, therapies, treatments, and methods of use of the agents and/or therapies and/or treatments for increasing production of a Cetuximab-like protein (CLP) by a subject that is administered the agent, therapy or treatment. Embodiments of the present disclosure can be used as a therapy or a treatment for a subject that has a condition that may benefit from reducing the DNA synthesis of genes that regulate cellular growth and proliferation.

Recombinant virus vector (RVV) for inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activity and method of making an agent/target cell complex to increase cetuximab-like protein (CLP) production

The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to one or more compositions or methods that upregulate the production of one or more sequences of micro interfering ribonucleic acid (miRNA). The sequences of miRNA may be complimentary to a sequence of target messenger RNA (mRNA) that encodes for translation of a target biomolecule, such as ETS2. The miRNA can cause the target mRNA to be degraded or inactivated, thereby causing a decrease in bioavailability of the target biomolecule because it is degraded or inactivated by the miRNA. Decreasing the bioavailability of the target biomolecule within a subject that is administered the one or more compositions may address the afflictions experienced by the subject due to overexpression of the target biomolecule.
